Hmmm, I think I had the same problem. Have a look on this page:

The problem is with the SCSI driver. You can also try and plug your
internal SCSI chain on the external bus (just move the ribbon connector
on the motherboard).

I boot my 7600/G3 with quik, so it can be done. But you might have to
use the quik first-stage from here:
